Excellent advice and thanks for sharing this! The funny thing is that this article alone would've made you more than $1000 so congratulations on that.

I can relate so much. It's my fourth real month on Medium and this month I'm probably going to break the $100 from the MPP barrier.

I have been making steady progress, $33 in my first, $55 in my second, $65 in my third and now probably $100+ but after reading this, the possibility of my progress stalling has presented itself in it's full glory.

I have also haven't had any of my articles go viral. Most of mine earn between $5 to $10 but none crazy.

But yea, if you've haven't had a hit in 14 months, what am I complaining about?

I'll stay put and do what I can do - write. Thanks for this Itxy! Looking forward to reading more from you
